POW! Rihanna Receives CFDA Award in See-Through Dress

She’s receiving the 2014 Fashion Icon Award, so why not show up in style?

International superstar Rihanna attended last night’s CFDA ceremony at New York’s Lincoln Center rocking a see-through silver sheer dress that left little to the imagination. Designed by Adam Selma… the only thing you can say is Jesus!

Rihanna is known for being extremely bold on and off the red carpet: From statement-making outfits to trendsetting hairstyles, this diva definitely has that fashion magic…not to mention a great body for it all.

“Growing up fashion was a defense mechanism,” states Rihanna during her acceptance speech after being presented the award by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. “As a child I remember saying: she can beat me but she can’t beat my outfit.”
